DATABeast IT Benefits

DATABeast combines full service storage management with mission critical availability for today’s data intensive environments. DATABeast combines the capacity of multiple storage systems into a single or multiple storage pools that can grow to petabytes. Create 1000’s of virtual volumes, large volumes of up to 64TB or thousands of small volumes. Use DATABeast thin provisioning to maximize storage efficiency and eliminate manual volume expansion.
 
 
Incorporate legacy Nexsan storage systems in the DATABeast solution and rapidly deploy active LUNs and volumes without data migration. Provide a NAS interface to deliver file services to both Microsoft and Unix platforms from a single solution.
 
 
DATABeast snapshots protect data using time based recovery points. DATABeast mirroring maintains an exact real-time copy of production data and volumes locally, across a DWDM or dedicated Fibre Channel connection. Use DATABeast data replication to provide disaster recovery to another DATABeast across any LAN, MAN or WAN.
 
 
Ensure continuous operation with active / active independent and redundant DATABeast Controller nodes. DATABeast racks include redundant switches, cabling and PDUs which are pre-installed and configured to create a fully fault tolerant and redundant infrastructure. DATABeast storage systems are equipped with redundant RAID controllers and power supplies. Use any RAID level including RAID 6 to overcome drive failures.
Scale from terabytes to petabytes in a single system. No storage capacity keys , no server nor application licenses required - DATABeast can scale to perform 100,000 I/Os per second and support millions to billions of files all within the same solution. Expand capacity by adding more DATABeast storage systems or more DATABeast expansion racks to your DATABeast architecture. You can scale performance by simply adding more DATABeast nodes.
 
Administer and monitor all storage services for 1000's of volumes and petabytes of capacity from a single interface. Manage multiple DATABeast controller nodes, create volumes, and perform replication, view system reports and logs using DATABeast Management Server.
 
Nexsan’s patented AutoMAID technology requires significantly less electricity for power and cooling when data is at rest or accessed less frequently. Nexsan AutoMAID can reduce power costsby as much as 52%.
